David Ornstein has confirmed that Tottenham Hotspur are keen on Andy Robertson.
The 31-year-old Scottish captain’s future at Anfield appeared uncertain during the summer transfer window, with Atletico Madrid keen of the defender before they moved on to other targets.
The arrival of Milos Kerkez also has cast some doubt over his long-term future at Anfield. As the 2025-26 season has progressed, Kerkez has emerged as the preferred option, with Robertson finding himself in a position of rotation and reduced playing time. The 31-yearold has managed to rack up 21 appearances across all competitions, but only eight have been from the starting eleven.
Reporting for the Athletic, Ornstein stated:
“Tottenham Hotspur are working on a deal to sign Andy Robertson from Liverpool.”
“The north London club initially identified Robertson as a target for this summer and planned to be among multiple suitors vying to recruit the Scotland international as a free agent when his contract expires on June 30.”
“But that pursuit was brought forward in an effort to strengthen head coach Thomas Frank’s squad immediately and amicable negotiations between all parties are advancing as Spurs attempt to land the 31-year-old left-back.”
It is added that Robertson and Liverpool enjoy an exceptionally strong relationship, so he would be reluctant to leave in a way that harms the club, and the club in turn would always respect the wishes of a player who has given them so much over nearly a decade. Both parties will aim to act in each other’s best interests, according to the report.
The Scot spoke about his contract situation earlier this month, with his current deal set to expire in the summer. While he confirmed that talks were underway, he stopped short of confirming he will stay:
“We’ll see what happens. We’ve had chats now which will remain private. I’ve spoken to them and we’ll see what happens,” Robertson said.
“Would I like to stay? Yes, but it’s a difficult question to ask. I’ve got five months left and we need to see the option to stay or if there’s options to go and things like that. I’ll sit down with my family and decide.”
“After a stressful summer, I’m just trying to enjoy being a part of it and being a Liverpool player. I wanted to qualify for the World Cup and thankfully we’ve managed to do that. I need to see what my family and I wants moving forward.”
